    People appear to be forgettins that the driver would have had to open the luggage doors so obviously he had to know she was getting a bag.




    How else was she going to get her bag if it was in too far to reach?

    The doors are operated from the cab on some buses.On others the passengers open and close them.

    It's funny that the Irish times doesn't mention cancer at all

    I'll admit its quite rare I use buses but of the times I have (city link and aircoach) I've never seen doors operated by anyone but the driver.

    Not a nice thing to happen but if they actually climbed into the luggage compartment, it's hardly the drivers fault.

    Surprised at RTE including the fairly irrelevant fact of her cancer too. Something you'd expect from the Indo.

    RTE orgasm at the mention of a cancer patient.Half their entertainment schedule is based on cancer patients.

    Scary at the time but it makes for a good story down the pub.

    I know it's after hours but seriously? If any of you had ever had chemo or similar you would realise that she was probably hanging on by a thread and couldn't face any kind of pleading or heated discussion with the driver and just hoped to grab her bag and get home in one piece.

    If she was hanging she shouldn't have been up all night sucking on cans.

    If she was so sick for her treatment, somone would have collected her if she couldn't even ride a bus.

    Heisenberg can control a drug empire and a car wash with cancer. It serves no purpose to say she had cancer or any illness.

    Yeah, the fact that she has cancer should have no relevance to the story. It's just trying to make it much worse than it actually is. I assume what happened is that the bus driver glanced back to see if anyone was there, when she was in the luggage hold, he couldn't see her and just assumed that she had collected her bag and left. It's a pretty honest mistake to make. It's why, if I notice my bag is further in than expected, I would pop by the driver just to warn him.

    No one likes to see somehting like this happen - especially if the woman was unwell and was upset by the incident....

    But....if it happened to me, I'd just lay back on the bags and wait for the next stop. Could well be more comfortable than sitting in the bus.

    Just got back from reading the paper over a cuppa after work and come to find AH retelling the days news (this story and the inheritance one were on the first few pages) Whats nice about reading the paper in silence is the lack of others opinions on some issues.

    The poor woman, it must have been so awful. She'd have felt every single bump. If it was me I'd have cried my eyes out the whole way.
